Like buying a coat for winter, seasonal maintenance helps prepare your vehicle for the ever-changing elements, thereby extending its life. “It takes very little time and money to make sure your car runs properly throughout the year and although breakdowns happen, they can definitely be minimized by taking a few extra preventive steps,” Rich White, director of Car Care Council. OurSeasonal Car Care Specials are designed to handle all of your car maintenance and auto repair needs for each season of the year and are a worry-free way to keep you on the road longer.

Fall
This season brings us back to earth, back to school, and allow us to reflect on what’s most important to us. It is also a great time to begin preparing your vehicle for winter. Key areas to focus on for fall maintenance and auto repair include:

    • Visibility – Fog and cloudy skies reduce visibility. Headlights should be checked for brightness intensity and should be aimed and cleaned when necessary to ensure maximum visibility.
    • Tires - Check tire pressure and tread depth. Proper tread allows for better traction on wet surfaces. Do not put off replacing thin tires. Great time to replace tires in preparation for winter (where they are critically important).
    • Brakes – Fall is a great time to repair faulty brakes before winter, where they are critically important. Make sure brakes are in good condition to ensure safe stopping.
    • Vital Fluids Vital fluids are the blood and phlem of a vehicle. Servicing dirty fluids will help ensure proper lubrication and functioning of vehicle systems. As well as keeping the engine from overheating, coolant ensures the engine doesn’t freeze!
    • Door Locks, Hinges & Door Seals Cold weather can shrink door lock components, hinges and door seals, making them noisy and sometimes inoperable. It’s a good idea to lube these items before it gets too cold out to improve functionality and longevity.
    • Engine Performance – Begin preparing your vehicle for winter with a tune-up in the fall. A tune-up will help ensure vehicle efficiency and dependability by boosting engine performance and preventing faulty cold starts.
      throughout the year.
    • Check Engine and Other Dash Lights Have them diagnosed and repairs performed before winter. Cold weather places added stress on vehicle components and systems and can exacerbate pre-existing conditions and problems.
